Weasel is a tenacious little robot warrior that contains two sensors allowing it to "see" a line or "feel" its way along walls and around corners. The two motors and contact sensor activate the wall sensing micro switch to control the motor's on/off operation determined by the path of a wall. It is the classic robot design using the "Left Hand Rule" to escape mazes. Included to make this robot "smart" is a sonic tracking system. Underneath Weasel's sturdy plastic base, you will discover photo- transistors that enable it to detect and follow a black line. Weasel still has more features! Want speed? Well, its three-speed gearbox will help navigate at the velocity you determine. Quick and easy to assemble, this is a beginner robot that can make great entrant in robotic competitions, robotic workshops, after-school programs, special events, gifts, science enrichment camps, and classroom activities. For experimenters with limited experience in assembling mechanical kits. (Ages 9 and up) |
